Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is a basic part of power system planning that determines where, when and how many new transmission lines should be added to the network. Up till now, various methods have been presented to solve the static transmission network expansion planning (STNEP) problem. But in all of these methods, transmission expansion planning considering network adequa...

planning robot trajectory is a complex task that plays a significant role in design and application of robots in task space. the problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem which is fundamentally a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. open-loop optimal control method is proposed as an approach for trajectory optimization of cable parallel manipulator for a given two-end-po...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on monoand multi-objective approaches for electrical distribution network design using particle swarmoptimization (PSO). Specifically, two distribution network design problems, i.e., static and expansion planning, are solved using PSO. The network planning involves optimization of both network topology and branch conductor sizes. Both the planning probl...
